Indications for Use
The MPC-740 is a Male to Male Dialysate Connection Connector. It may be used to connect the MPC-725 to the Dialysis machine Dialysate Line in order to extend the length of the Dialysate Tubing. May also be used as a recirculation connector; connecting both dialysis machine Dialysate lines together. The MPC-725 is a Female to Female Dialysate Connection Connector. When connected to the MPC-740 (which has been connected to the dialysis machines' dialysate line) this line may be used to extend the length of the Dialysis Machine Dialysate Line. The MPC-725 may also be used to connect one Dialyzer Port to another Dialyzer Port.
Device Story
Dialysate Tubing with Connectors (MPC-725 and MPC-740) are mechanical accessories for hemodialysis systems. MPC-740 is a male-to-male connector; MPC-725 is a female-to-female connector. Devices function by physically coupling dialysate lines to extend tubing length or by connecting dialyzer ports. Used in clinical dialysis settings by trained healthcare professionals. No electronic or software components. Benefit includes flexibility in configuring hemodialysis circuit connections.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Mechanical connectors for hemodialysis tubing. No energy source, software, or electronic components. Materials and sterilization methods are standard for hemodialysis accessories.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in hemodialysis procedures to connect or extend dialysate tubing lines and connect dialyzer ports.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A hemodialysis system and accessories is a device that is used as an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and that consists of an extracorporeal blood system, a conventional dialyzer, a dialysate delivery system, and accessories. Blood from a patient flows through the tubing of the extracorporeal blood system and accessories to the blood compartment of the dialyzer, then returns through further tubing of the extracorporeal blood system to the patient. The dialyzer has two compartments that are separated by a semipermeable membrane. While the blood is in the blood compartment, undesirable substances in the blood pass through the semipermeable membrane into the dialysate in the dialysate compartment. The dialysate delivery system controls and monitors the dialysate circulating through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer.(1) The extracorporeal blood system and accessories consists of tubing, pumps, pressure monitors, air foam or bubble detectors, and alarms to keep blood moving safely from the blood access device and accessories for hemodialysis (§ 876.5540) to the blood compartment of the dialyzer and back to the patient. (2) The conventional dialyzer allows a transfer of water and solutes between the blood and the dialysate through the semipermeable membrane. The semipermeable membrane of the conventional dialyzer has a sufficiently low permeability to water that an ultrafiltration controller is not required to prevent excessive loss of water from the patient's blood. This conventional dialyzer does not include hemodialyzers with the disposable inserts (Kiil type) (§ 876.5830) or dialyzers of high permeability (§ 876.5860). (3) The dialysate delivery system consists of mechanisms that monitor and control the temperature, conductivity, flow rate, and pressure of the dialysate and circulates dialysate through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer. The dialysate delivery system includes the dialysate concentrate for hemodialysis (liquid or powder) and alarms to indicate abnormal dialysate conditions. This dialysate delivery system does not include the sorbent regenerated dialysate delivery system for hemodialysis (§ 876.5600), the dialysate delivery system of the peritoneal dialysis system and accessories (§ 876.5630), or the controlled dialysate delivery system of the high permeability hemodialysis system § 876.5860). (4) Remote accessories to the hemodialysis system include the unpowered dialysis chair without a scale, the powered dialysis chair without a scale, the dialyzer holder set, dialysis tie gun and ties, and hemodialysis start/stop tray.
